Call Lynda Paquette at 1-907-491-2378 CitySewardWLUPresentationFI NAL01092017 Honorable Mayor Bardason, City Council Members and Citizens: Thank you for allowing me time to speak with you this evening. Happy New Year! It seems like this year more than any other, people are excited about the year ahead. I've been reading quotes about new years, and I think my favorite quote is Sarah Ban Breathnach's. It goes like this: "Take a leap of faith and begin this wondrous new year by believing. Believe in yourself. And believe that there is a loving Source - a Sower of Dreams - just waiting to be asked to help you make your dreams come true." Isn't that beautiful?! What are your dreams? What are Seward's dreams? Take a moment and consider the question. There is one dream that is rather universal. If you ask people what's the one thing they wish for more than anything else; the most common answer is Peace. Peace on Earth. Even children, small children will answer this. It's what we all want, isn't it? Peace on Earth solves everything. Many people will say it's not possible; that there will never be peace. But I'd like to ask you, to believe for a moment that there can be peace on Earth. Take a moment and let what Peace feels like sink in. If you do, you, you may notice your shoulders drop, you may notice you can draw your breath all the way into your lower belly instead of shallowly into your chest. Or for you might notice something else. In summary, you'll notice you'll feel better. Wouldn't it be great if the new year somehow caused us all to feel better? This new year is prophetic to those who follow the ancient traditions. 2016 is what people call a 9 year and 2017 a one year, the beginning of a new 9 year cycle. So, the beginning of a new year that's also the beginning of a 9 year cycle feels really important. What a perfect time to try something new, right? 2017 is a year for change as we are seeing in higher levels of government, Page 1 of 5 CitySewardWLUPresentationFl NAL01092017 but it's not uncommon for great change to also cause unease. Is there something new Seward could do to put folks at ease? I'm here to suggest that this may be a perfect time to embrace a way, a method, or path that puts people at ease and makes the City stronger by stating simply and clearly to its citizens that they are cared for, without in any way upsetting or weakening what's already in place in terms of the City Charter. All around the country what citizens are wanting from their local governments is reassurance and a feeling of safety and predictability, stability if you will. What if the City could adopt a way that comforts everyone and makes the human side of governance clear, wouldn't that be desirable? Some cities have gone so far as to declare themselves Sanctuary Cities, including Denver just last week on 1 /5, and others are adopting programs, or supporting programs that certain City departments are sponsoring. Right here in Alaska, the Police Department of the City of Juneau has declared 2017 to be a year of kindness. They have business sponsors and programs planned throughout the year to promote kindness. There is a city in the lower 48 southeast that has set out to become the "Love City." Coming back to the idea of peace: "What do we do to create the world into something that works for everyone?" Because that's how we will achieve peace. That's where peace will come from. The answer to that question is a simple three word, eight-letter answer: WE LOVE US. This is how we create the world that works for everyone: WE LOVE US. It's both the answer to the question, and it's an acronym that provides the structure of how, the method, way or path. The eight statements that make up the acronym can be implemented as mission statements, they can be implemented as action statements, and they can become results statements. (the cards have the Action Statement versions). In addition to a way or method, WE LOVE US is also movement. There is a Page 2 of 5 CitySewardWLUPresentationFINAL01092017 Facebook page with almost 600 followers, and the details appear in a published book, and there's also a website. WE LOVE US is a way to live using the statements or principles. The statements are so easy to memorize that they allow for a certain amount of mindfulness to become a way of life. I suspect by now most of you have heard about the benefits of mindfulness. WE LOVE US strips away the things that get in the way of us achieving our goals and moves us to a new way of doing things. As Einstein suggests, if we want different results we need to do something different. The Action Statements as Mission Statements: Weave a fabric of Unity & Peace Embrace Earth as irreplaceable and all Life with Respect Love and Forgive Everyone, Unconditionally Offer Openness, Honesty, Truthfulness and Transparency Volunteer Service to Others Ensure everyone gets a voice, vote and equal opportunity Unite the Divided with Infinite Love Solve Our Problems Together in Harmony The Action Statements as a Methodology: Weaving a fabric of Unity & Peace in our daily lives, at home, at work, locally, and globally, etc. Embracing Earth as irreplaceable and treating all Life with Respect (caring for the environment, and nature) Loving and Forgiving Everyone, Unconditionally, At All Times, Even When Challenging and Difficult (practicing compassion and kindness) Open, Honest Truthful and Transparent, Always Being These in Every Transaction Volunteerism in Service to Others as the Greatest Way to Serve Humanity Everyone gets a Voice & Vote & Equal Opportunity to Be Heard and Succeed Uniting the Divided with Infinite Love Through Our Daily Actions and Attitudes Solving our Problems Together in Harmony With Hearts of Love and Compassion Page 3 of 5 CitySewardWLUPresentationFINAL01092017 WE LOVE US Action Statements As Results: Woven Fabric of Unity & Peace in our daily lives, at home, in community & worldwide!

There is no end to where these mission statements can be applied. WE LOVE US enables us to embrace wrongs and things that need our attention from a place of ease and grace. It gives us guidance and a framework. I'm asking that the City of Seward take an even larger step than the City of Juneau, and adopt WE LOVE US as a plan of action, not just for 2017, but as a motto and movement, perhaps in the form of a Resolution. Be the first city in the world to become what is sure to become a worldwide movement. I do understand you can't answer this request this evening. Thank you for your time; regardless of what you decide, I wish you all peace and love. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. Page 4 of 5 CitySewardWLUPresentationFl NAL01092017 This request is about creating a new world of peace and love. There isn't enough time for me to read this, but I'd also like to share this quote from my upcoming book. "To be love, to be an active and useful source of Infinite Love and peace, we must take inspired action. To be a lover of all is to find a fourth way beyond fight, flight, and freeze to respond to our challenges. We must evolve our response to injustice so that we end injustice without being unjust in the process. We must recognize that the appearance of evil is merely that, an appearance and that in truth what we are seeing manifested is fear and a lack of love, nothing more. We must disarm the fear without resorting to arms. For love to find its way home, we must engage in a careful, thoughtful and rigorous pursuit of justice, reconciliation, and restoration. Rather than fight, flight, and freeze the fourth way is forgiveness, love, and compassion." -- Lynda Lamp (pen name of Lynda Paquette) Volume III of Walking Through Your Walls, Loving Yourself and Everyone Else!

Box 167 Seward, AK 99664 RE: City Attorney Report for the Period December 11, 2016,through January 6, 2017 Dear Mayor and City Council: The following summarizes our activities as City Attorney during the period December 11, 2016, through January 6, 2017: 1. General Matters: The City Attorney's office provided advice and worked on various matters regarding leases and deeds, contracts, and resolutions, and advised on revenue options for bond repayment. 2. Litigation: In the Orion litigation, costs and fees of just under $19,000.00 have been awarded to Seward and we prevailed against Orion's Motion for Reconsideration. Orion has appealed the judgment and is unwilling to discuss settlement, even at a court-ordered conference. Orion has posted a bond for the outstanding judgment and has until February 13 to file its brief on appeal. 3. Electric Utility: We continue advising and participating in negotiations to protect the City's interests regarding the Bradley Lake agreements. There are some upcoming deadlines that will hopefully bring this matter to a conclusion. Please contact me if you have any questions or desire further information on any of the matters discussed above. Sincerely, BIRCH HORTON BITTNER &CHEROT William A.

Unlike other zones, the CB allows 100%lot coverage and does not require off-street parking. Parking in the CB is very challenging in the summer with tourists,and in the winter with snow removal issues. Parallel parking along Third Avenue is already creating traffic hazards, slowing the flow of traffic which pushes more traffic onto adjacent residential neighborhood streets. It is often difficult to find adequate parking in the Third Ave CB with all the driveways, fire hydrant, Senior Center, and line-of-sight no parking zones.Add to that the challenges of parallel parking. Other CB zones have similar issues. library patrons plug up the ROW all along 6th and spill over onto Adams when the convenient parking areas are full,as they often are. Customers on Fourth go round and round, trying to find a parking spot, especially in the summer. Why would the City want to encourage more single-family residences in the Central Business District anyway? Or Auto Commercial District?Why allow single family uses in the CB or AC to compete for space with businesses and jam up their already limited parking? Allowing existing CB (and AC) lots to be replatted into 30'lots will increase the parking problem unless the CB (and AC) is removed from this Ordinance, or a requirement for adequate off-street parking for newly subdivided residential lots is required by Conditional Use Permit. I hope you will consider removing the CB zone (and AC) from this Ordinance. As noted on page 8 in the packet,the KPB subdivision code requires a minimum lot width of 60' and a minimum lot size of 6000 square feet. Changes to this will require another Ordinance stating the different standards, and a surveyor will have to request a special exemption from the Borough. It would be prudent for the City to examine why the Borough requires a minimum of 6000 square feet. I think there are very good reasons, some of which I expressed in my letter on page 16. I also disagree with the inclusion of duplexes in the CB (and AC) districts. If allowed, off-street parking should be required. The 6000 square foot minimum for a duplex is just too small. This Ordinance will indeed increase density and with it,the associated traffic,parking, and quality of life issues,and everyone will have to deal with it. Please vote no.

Development Requirements -Notes BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: At the Council joint work session with the Planning and Zoning Commission on February 24, 2016 the Council directed the Planning and Zoning Commission and Community Development Department staff to review and develop new Code provisions addressing the ability to plat and develop lots of 3,000 square feet. The Commission held several public work sessions to discuss the pros and cons of smaller lots. Current City Code allows for the single family home development of existing originally platted 3,000 square foot lots but does not allow for the development of other 3,000 square foot lots. There are several 3,000 square foot lots that currently do not meet the originally platted requirement of the current code. Also, the current City code does not allow for the platting of new or additional 3,000 square foot lots. The Commission held a Public Hearing on September 6, 2016. Two members of the public spoke in opposition to the proposed code amendment. The Commission voted to postpone the decision on Resolution 2016-12 until an additional public work session and further discussion was held. A public work session was held on September 20, 2016 with two (2) members of Council and a member of the public present. The proposed Ordinance was thoroughly discussed and no changes or amendments were requested. The facilitation of small lot development could to some degree encourage infill development. New construction on scattered vacant or underutilized lots near the center of town may be a way to increase housing. For the most part, the subdivisions south of Van Buren Street are severed by alley access with utilities located in both the alley and street rights-of-way, allowing for the required separation of utilities on small lots. While the City of Seward is required to provide recommendations to the Kenai Peninsula Borough (KPB) on all platting or subdivision requests within the City Limits, the Borough Platting Commission has the final authority on the subdivision approval. There are several Borough code provisions that address lot size, special or different standards within organized cities: • KPB subdivision code §20.30.190. Lots—Dimensions requires minimum lot width of 60 feet • KPB §20.30.200. Lots—Minimum Size requires minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet. ti • KPB §20.30.270 Different standards in cities; requires the City to have an Ordinance in place stating the different subdivision design standards. Therefore, if the City chooses to have different lot sizes or standards than the Borough Code requirements, the City is required to have an Ordinance in place stating the different standards. When a surveyor is platting a smaller lot a special exception request to the Borough standards will be required. Staff is also requesting a code amendment to provide clarification on the lot size for duplex or two family developments. Minimum lot size for single family homes and multi-family developments with three— four units is currently provided in the Development Requirements but no guidance is provided for duplex development. Therefore, City staff has provided a recommendation by the addition of item F. to the Development Requirements -Notes. Specific additions, deletions or changes are as follows: (Deletions are Bold Strikethroughs; Additions are Bold Underline) 15.10.220 Development Requirements -Notes *** NOTE 2. *** B. In the R1, R2, R3, UR, OR and 2 AC and CB Districts, from Van Buren Street South, 6,000 3,000 SF and north, 7,000 6,000 SF with 60 30 and 70 60 foot minimum frontages respectively, for single-family residences. *** D. In the R1, R2, R3, UR, OR and 1 AC and CB Districts, individual lots of at least 3,000 SF in the Original Townsite, Federal Addition, Laubner Addition, Cliff Addition and Bayview Addition may be developed for single-family residences provided all other development requirements of this chapter are met. *** F. Two-family or duplex developments require a minimum of 6,000 SF in the R2, R3, UR, OR, AC and CB Districts and 20,000 SF in the RM District. Duplex developments within the Federal Addition Subdivision require 5,000 SF, provided all other development requirements of this chapter are met.

No meetings were scheduled June through August due to unavailability of board members during the summer. Dan Oliver resigned from the board and Colby Lawrence was appointed to take his seat. In December Board Member Brook Andrews advised the City Clerk that it would be necessary for her to leave the board due to family commitments and she will submitting her letter of resignation. The Board will miss Brooke's valuable participation and hope that she might later have an opportunity to rejoin PACAB. PACAB studied and recommended Project Priorities for March 2018- April 2017 project priorities. 1. Review taxes, especially vessel property tax. 2. Review the Harbor Tariff. 3. Work to recruit industries to Seward including the CDQ fleets and related industries, Oil & gas related industries, transportation, and commercial fishing. 4. Help lead Seward Marine Industrial Center (SMIC) development plan. 5. Prioritize Federal and State Priorities for Port& Commerce Initiatives 6. Explore energy alternatives (Wind, Solar, Geothermal and Hydroelectric, etc.) and alternatives to energy (BIO fuel, LNG etc.). PACAB adopted a resolution recommending amending the wharfage rate in the in the port and harbor tariff and providing for automatic biennial adjustments to wharfage rates by an amount equal to the five previous full years' average increase in the Anchorage consumer price index for all urban consumers. The City Council subsequently amended the tariff making these changes. The Board continued discussion of ways that Seward could attract more commercial fisheries business with the addition of a public use crane and changing the ad valorem property tax on vessels to a flat rate tax identified as priorities. 1 At its meetings the Board received testimony and had discussions with the public regarding slip assignments, harbor hours and safety (which followed a well- attended public hearing on September 7th relating to an unfortunate alcohol related incident in the harbor) and desire for a public use crane. The Board met in two work sessions and several members attended other public meetings on the development of the new comprehensive plan. Board recommendations were recorded in the work session minutes for inclusion in the public record governing the Plan development. On December 21st members of PACAB participated in a scheduled and advertised tour of SMIC led by Harbormaster Regis and Deputy Harbormaster Chase. Board members attending were Darryl Schaefermeyer, Bob Linville, Carl Hughes, and Christy Terry. Also attending were Deputy City Clerk Brenda Ballou, R&M Consultants On-Site Engineer Greg Shearer, and Seward City News reporter, Kelly Lane. The Board welcomed the progress on the basin breakwater project and its near completion, and the discussion on other work anticipated with the remaining project funds, including expansion of the Travelift dock to fully accommodate the use of the 330-ton lift, installation of an 8-ton public use crane and installation of the turning dolphin.

Page 5 Preliminary Permit Application Snow River Project December 2016 Exhibit 1: Project Description The proposed Project would be a hydroelectric generation project located in the Snow River Basin on the Kenai Peninsula, approximately 15 miles north of Seward, Alaska (see Exhibit 3 for location map). It would utilize water from the mainstem of Snow River captured at a proposed dam site located at approximate River Mile (RM) 9 upstream from the confluence of the Snow River with Kenai Lake.The proposed dam would span the Snow River approximately 3 miles above the confluence of the mainstem Snow River and the South Fork Snow River and divert water through a combination tunnel and penstock to three 25 MW turbine units housed in an approximate 8000-square foot powerhouse building. The Project would have an estimated installed capacity of 70.9 megawatts (MW) and a total estimated annual generation of 341,433 megawatt-hours (MW-hrs). A transmission line would be constructed from the powerhouse to an interconnection point with the existing high voltage transmission line located west of the proposed powerhouse location. The Snow River watershed includes approximately 111 square-miles upstream of the proposed dam site. A map showing the general locations of proposed Project features, including the reservoir, is provided in Exhibit 4. A larger scale map of the dam and power production related facilities is shown in Exhibit 5. Chugach is proposing a main darn and two saddle dams with crest elevation of 1,300 feet Mean Sea Level (MSL) with dam freeboard of 20 feet,which would create a reservoir with a maximum surface elevation of 1,280 feet MSL, with a surface area of 5,321 acres. At this time, Chugach is evaluating two distinct intake/tunnel/penstock/powerhouse/transmission line/access road alternatives, as shown in Exhibit 4, beginning at either the right(Alternative 1) or left (Alternative 2) dam abutments, looking downstream. Chugach anticipates selecting a preferred alignment during the preliminary permit term.The types of conveyance features for both right bank and left bank alternatives are similar and consist of an intake structure leading to a power tunnel that transitions to a surface penstock leading to a surface powerhouse on the bank of the Snow River. Water would then discharge back directly into the river below the powerhouse. Alternative 1 starts at the right abutment and consists of a dam and an upstream intake structure that diverts flow into a gently inclined westerly tunnel beneath a high mountain ridge. The tunnel intake portal elevation is positioned above the river thalweg at approximately 1,100 feet elevation. The tunnel passes beneath the mountain and daylights at approximately 820 feet elevation, transitioning to a surface penstock that traverses downslope to a river-level powerhouse at approximately 550 feet elevation. A short access road would be constructed from the tunnel portal down to the powerhouse. The access road would then leave the powerhouse and gently traverse the sidehill to a point coincident with the existing railroad bridge crossing. A proposed new powerhouse access road bridge would be constructed parallel with the railroad bridge and terminate at Seward Highway.The transmission line parallels the road from the powerhouse, then extends past Seward Highway upslope to interconnect with the existing high voltage transmission line on the hillside. For this alternative,the main dam construction access road would consist of the access road described in Alternative 2. Chugach Electric Association, Inc. Page 6 Preliminary Permit Application Snow River Project December 2016 Alternative 2 starts on the left abutment upstream of the dam. Water is diverted into a conveyance tunnel intake portal positioned at approximately elevation 1,100 feet. The conveyance tunnel would pass beneath the existing left bank bedrock ridge with a vertical gateshaft positioned on the ridgetop for hydraulic control. Downstream of the gateshaft, the tunnel would continue on to a surface portal at approximately 870 feet elevation where the conveyance would transition to a surface penstock.The penstock would be routed downhill to the powerhouse at approximately 640 feet elevation.The access road would traverse from the upstream dam area over the ridge and down to the powerhouse. The access road would then leave the powerhouse and traverse the sidehill above the river floodplain, then cross the South Branch Snow River via a new bridge to interconnect with the Seward Highway.The transmission line would parallel the access road to Seward Highway, then traverse directly uphill to interconnect to the existing transmission line. The upper highland areas on both the left and right banks away from the dam abutments have undulating, glacially-scoured bench features that will require one or more low auxiliary dam(s) designed to contain the full reservoir with 20 feet of freeboard.The auxiliary dam concepts are shown on Exhibits 4 and 5. The concept for the Project spillway is to route flood or ice dam flows through a bedrock notch on the left side of the drainage, well away from the dam, into a tributary drainage that exits toward the Snow River from the left bank auxiliary dam area.This is intended to accommodate the full ice dam release from the basin upstream.The spillway and downstream flow path need to be wide enough and free of obstructions to accommodate the ice dam releases without blocking. Records indicate that this ice dam forms and breaches in the fall approximately every 2 to 3 years, releasing up to 140,000 acre-feet of water over a very short period (NOAA, 2015)1. Depending on the reservoir operating protocol, the reservoir level could be managed to capture most, if not all of this inflow, but this would need to be studied in future design efforts. Sediment delivery during these events and potential loss of reservoir capacity must also be considered. Project features and their characteristics for the proposed Project are shown in the table below.

Private and state lands located along Snow River downstream of the South Fork confluence may be affected by the transmission line and access road developed for the Project to connect to the existing transmission line, highway, and railroad for Project purposes. Further design efforts are needed to identify affected landowners. The proposed Project boundary for this preliminary permit application is shown in Exhibit 6. Total acreage within the Project boundary is estimated at 16,890 acres, including 15,957 acres in federal ownership and 933 acres in non-federal ownership. A completed Form FERC-587, as shown in Exhibit 7, is being submitted to the Alaska State Director, Bureau of Land Management by copy of the cover letter to this preliminary permit application.
